Meet Dr. Kirstyn: From NHS Doctor to Heart Health Coach
Qualified NHS UK Doctor
Hi, I’m Kirstyn.
Doctor turned health coach, believer in evidence over extremes, and founder of Coached by Doctor Kirstyn.
For years, I worked in the NHS.
I saw the same pattern over and over: people being told to “eat better” or “just lose weight” without ever being given the tools, the support, or the why behind it all.
I saw good people ending up on lifelong medications because no one helped them see what was possible before it got to that point.
And eventually, I realised - I wanted to be the person before the prescription pad.
The one who helps you rewrite the story before it becomes one of regret.
I don’t do scare tactics. I do science and self-compassion.
I’m here to help you lower your cholesterol, protect your heart, and feel good in your body - without the fear, guilt or food obsession that so often comes with health advice.
Because here's the truth:
Most people know they should eat better or move more.
But what they really need is someone to walk alongside them - to simplify the science, to help them stay consistent, and to challenge the “all-or-nothing” mindset that’s held them back for years.
That’s where I come in.
I want people to still be able to live life to the full even when they hit their 80’s and 90’s. That’s my why. That’s why I became an Online Coach.
What makes my health coaching approach different?
- I’m a doctor, so everything I share is rooted in medical science - not wellness trends.
- I’m a coach, so I understand that knowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it.
- I specialise in helping people who’ve tried everything - especially the ones who feel stuck, ashamed, or overwhelmed.
My clients leave with more than just better blood results.
They leave with confidence, clarity, and a calm relationship with food and health for the first time in years.
What I believe (and what you’ll feel when we work together):
- You deserve to feel proud of how you take care of yourself - not punished by it.
- Change doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
- Health isn’t about control. It’s about freedom - freedom from fear, from yo-yo habits, from old stories that no longer serve you.
This is about your whole life - not just your cholesterol.
Most people retire with a lot of money, but not a lot of health. I want to change that latter part.
I work with people who want to live long, full, vibrant lives.
People who want to be around for their kids and grandkids.
People who are done with second-guessing themselves, and ready to feel in charge of their health again. If that’s you?
You’re in the right place.
